About Me |
|
Rose, the de facto heart and soul behind the rhythmic pop fusion of The Thorns, is by turns vulnerable and naive, streetwise and downright seductive, sometimes all in the same song. It's an elusive, occasionally ambiguous quality - dangerous and impulsive one second, timid and innocent the next - that comes to define the warm, sonic purr of her resplendent debut Sing Me a Song. (Steve Baylin, The Ottawa XPress) Fans of the pleasantly languid side of Sarah Harmer and the new soul trend ignited by Mark Ronson’s work will appreciate Shannon Rose, an Ottawa singer-songwriter who appears at home in both worlds. Rose has a seductive, smoky voice and an ear for textured songs in the style of New Bohemians or Laura Veirs. (Mason Wright, National Post) I am a singer-songwriter currently working and living in Ottawa, Ontario, near to my hometown of Pembroke. I started writing songs in Toronto, when I was a York University English Literature student. After I graduated I moved back to Ottawa, was married, and began performing my songs with my husband Steve, and various other of our musical friends in Ottawa. I was happy to be quickly welcomed into the rich musical community here in Ottawa, and to have such talented and accomplished musicians as Steve Matylewicz, Adam Fogo, Tim Watson, Ashley Newall, Michael Schultz, and Phil Bova join me as The Thorns in my efforts of creating my first independent album, which was recorded and produced at Bova Sound Studios. I am very proud of the result of these efforts, and am now touring in support of these songs, as well as introducing some of the new songs I have been writing. My debut album, Sing Me A Song, is now available for order through iTunes, HMV, and Amazon, and locally from Vertigo Records on Rideau, Compact Music in the Glebe, and Café Olé in Pembroke. These songs were recorded at Bova Sound. |
